These cowardly bastards will only succeed in securing themselves a lengthy sentence in Maghaberry.

We have all collectively suffered enough over the last 30 years. Rather than driving a wedge between our two communities it will only strengthen our collective resolve. This is the last gasp of armed republicanism.

Agreed.

Northern Ireland's Trade Unions are supposed to be organising a peace demonstration in Belfast CC on Wednesday, fully ******* intend on going.

A policeman has been shot dead in Craigavon...What are we falling into? We all need to be at this demonstration if we are going to send a message!

Sums it up well I think....

The Northern Ireland Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions calls on all workers to show their condemnation at the callous murders of two soldiers in Antrim last Saturday by attending one of the silent protest rallies taking place at:

1pm, Wednesday, 11 March 2009-03-09

Belfast City Hall

L’Derry Guildhall Square

Newry Town Hall

Other venues for silent protest and reflection will be announced.

Peter Bunting, Assistant General Secretary of the ICTU, said: “The horror and shock shown by the people of Northern Ireland in response to the repugnant murders last Saturday must be expressed publicly. Those who long for a society at peace with itself and with others can express their solidarity with that most dignified form of protest – a wall of human silence.

“We will be sending a message to the violent perpetrators of the atrocity on Massereene that they have nothing to say which is worth listening to, and that we have nothing to say to them until they stop.

“We are inviting all workers and their families to express their abhorrence at these murders and the direct threat to the peace process.

“We must commonly affirm our determination that not a further single worker will be injured, intimated or murdered by those who seek to derail the Peace Process. ”
